Zwartkops 2006 - Porsche 917, Ferrari P2

[novass]

Awesome pics!!! Looks like a lot of fun. I love that Gulf 956

Something interesting I noticed.
If you look carefully you can spot the number 3 on the Lola T70 in the Piper Garage. It is the original T70...
I happened to run across this article...

There are more shots in the Zwartkops 2006 Porsches gallery (Url in first post)

2 More shots in an old gallery with the car's original livery here

That car is in South Africa and I will see it relatively often on Porsche Club Days, so I will concentrate on taking a wider range of pictures in the future.
He also bought a Kraftwerkz 917 replica, which was painted in Gulf colours. Unfortunately the car may have blown an engine in practise for Zwartkops, so it wasn't there on saturday.

Thanks a lot - my library of reference material is growing nicely

its not uncommon to take original 956/962 that werent as successful in the racing world, and change the livery to suite the new owner. the owner of that car did the right thing, and chose a great set of crayolas

yes, i love 956/962's..... a whole fargin lot

um.....
damn, i definately need to pick up a copy of Forza sometime... and another xbox?
the 965???
surely you dont mean the 964 Turbo 2? (known as model 965) but rather whichever of the 2 race cars, combined livery from 956's and 962's (also, the original IMSA 962's had some slightly differing body work due to engine configuration...

you may have some help from this site if you havent used it already...

bah... so many that are simply awsome

[RC45]

^^ This calls for a real JW Forza "Class Race Series" - I know I tried with the custom F355's a year or 2 ago, and that didn't take off - but if we all run custom 956/962's - that's got to appeal to someone

It is afterall just for fun

[nthfinity]

^^^^^
definately, it appeals to me... just let me pick up Forza sometime... soon i think

although, i think you'll hand me my ass in a bag... but i think i'd beat you in GT4.

the costom 355's looked flat out amazing... but, well... not having the game ruins that

As far as I remember the 917s didn't have Flat-6s they were Flat-12s and then Turbo Flat-12s.
